Derek Scott

Developer Extraordinaire

I am a Full-Stack Rock Star, skilled in transforming complex data into interactive realities. With over 10 years of experience, I have navigated the strict standards of U.S. Navy contracting and the fast-paced agility of startups and e-commerce leaders. When I’m not coding professionally, I’m contributing to the community as a tech and video game vlogger, as well as creating my own games and apps.

Why Hire Me

I bring a rare combination of rigorous math training and hands-on engineering—so I don’t just ship features; I design systems that behave correctly and scale.

I care about iteration and evidence: A/B tests, metrics, and clear hypotheses. I’ve worked in regulated environments (U.S. Navy, government cloud) and high-velocity product teams, and I’m comfortable owning both the “why” and the “how” from data models to UI.

I hold degrees in Statistics and Economics from the University of North Dakota, where I studied complex behavioral and financial models. That STEM and math background lets me iterate and test code in ways that make sense both behaviorally and financially—and a deep understanding of mathematics allows me to build complex applications that many of my peers are unable to match. I am the real deal, and if you have nakin art that you want brought to life, I am the developer you want leading the project.
